My Book Of Pasting (Kumon Workbooks) [Paperback]

Kumon Workbooks (Afterword)

Book Description

Age Level: 4 and up | Grade Level: P and up | Series: Kumon Workbooks

This workbook was designed to improve children’s abilities with tools such as scissors and glue. Exercises start with cutting out parts and pasting them onto designated places on each page to complete a picture. Gradually, the pictures become more complex and the child is eventually asked to decide freely where the parts should go. Children will enjoy the variations they add to the illustrations, and as they do so, they will taste the joy of creating things with their hands.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome way to keep child interested in learning!, May 2, 2006

I have a 4 year old daughter that I have been working with at home. We have started a reading/writing program and my daughter is more than ready for it. However, she is easily bored (as most children are). This book is perfect to stir things up. We work for a while on the reading/writing and then she gets to do something from this book. She views it as a "reward", but it is actually still teaching her. The book is awesome. You cut out each page as you go. The book starts simple. You have a picture of a fruit with the center cut out. All the child does is cut out the center and glue it in place. My daughter actually skipped these first few, but it quickly progresses. You get to glue eggs, bacon, etc.. onto a plate. You can glue eyes, ears, mouth, etc.. onto an animal or gloves, hat, skates onto a person. (Each page has a small picture at the top to show the child what the finished picture should look like). It's fun, yet teaches the child dexterity and order. The pages are sturdier than normal paper so it is easy for the child to work with. I have to make my daughter stop so we don't finish the book too quickly. There is nothing that I do not like about this book. That said, I am not sure about this being rated for 4-5-6. It is perfect for early learners so if you have a 6 year old just starting to learn it would be ok, but if you have a 6 year old that is already in school or advanced...I do think the book would be too easy.

My son loves doing these colorful pasting exercises. They are really basic though, and I would think a 5 or 6 year old (recommended ages 4-6) would find them boring.
Wish it were a bit bigger with more pages - he'll do about 8 of them at a time - for the price I'm not sure I'd purchase again, though with the 3 for 4 books deal, its worth it.

This is good for practicing cutting and glueing. Don't miss the 4-for-3 promotion. My son loved this book at 4 and is redoing it at 5. An excellent value as it has 40 high-quality projects just right for 4-5-6 yr. olds, not too easy, not too hard. And cute.
